My husband and i live in a rented two bedroom apartment with our two boys.
My husbands 30k wage does not allow us to buy a small flat where we live, let alone a three bed house.
If i worked full time i would be paying more for childcare than actually be earning.
I so badly want another child but wonder if having three in one room is too much, especially when they are older.
I also dont want to get older feeling that i should have just went for it.
Does anybody else have 3 in one bedroom?
Thanks

If you are in the U.K. consider that child tax credit is restricted to two children in a household so wouldn't cover your next child. While you both have jobs that might not be an issue but what happens if one or both of you becomes ill/can't find work?

I wouldn't do it either. You have a biological need for another child but like a pp said, head over heart on this one. Flowers

We didn't, i sometimes have a pang of "what if?" But know really that it was the right decision. As others have said head over heart.
